Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

According to the figures, Rochford and Hulbridge are still taking the bulk of the housing. There is no decrease from the original figure of 500 before the changes, which means most of these properties will have to be built on Green Belt land. The previous objections have not abated, ie: Flooding around Watery Lane area, generating far too much traffic in and out of the village, which already comes to a standstill at the end of Ferry Road during the school run. There are plenty of brownfield sites in and around the village that can be used.
